I'm still working on walling up a loft in our house. To do it "right," and update the county's info so that it's officially a 4 bedroom house, I need to go through the permitting process. It's a bit silly. For two walls, I need a rough electrical, rough framing, final electrical and final framing inspection. poo poo's a bit of overkill. On top of that, the three bedrooms on the second floor have all of their doors adjacent, and the two existing bedrooms have smoke detectors immediately inside each. The county requires a smoke detector immediately inside the new one. They ALSO require a combo smoke/carbon monoxide detector outside of the rooms. So, within a 15 square foot area, I'll have 4 interconnected smoke detectors. I'd say that's well covered. And running the wiring in the attic with over 18" of blown insulation is a goddamned pain. I can dig down to where I need to work, but there's a continual cascade of insulation falling as I'm working. At least that part is just about done. Rough electrical inspection scheduled for Wednesday, I'm hoping the inspector doesn't do anything stupid... fingers crossed.

Besides clearing out your home, call the city and tell them you have a sudden roach infestation and ask them to come dust all the sewer manholes in your neighborhood. I think you are in Phoenix, and they used to be really good at fast response to roach issues if the MHs in your area haven't been treated in a while. If the sewers are infested your battle will be never ending.

I've never seen them go into them here when treating for roaches,. They use a spray rig, pop the MH lid and inundate starting at the bottom using a long wand like a pressure washer, but with powder instead of liquid. They coat the entire inside and bottom of the lid. They still don't get paid enough as they have to wear a full suit and mask to do this, in Phoenix.

I'm considering buying this to replace my '97 850 as a winter beater. Wikipedia tells me they were turbo only in the US. I've had my 850 for nearly eight years and it has 148k on it... but this one has a new timing belt, brakes, and tires; AWD, and it's a wagon where I only have a sedan. Should I? Would I be stupid not to?

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:Congrats! We just accepted an offer on ours. They wanted us to pay $5k in closing costs, which isn't absurd but we just weren't willing to do. Unfortunately the buyer is cash poor and really needs the money so we came up with a creative solution; lose the home warranty, bump the cost of the house up $1500 and give them $3000 in closing costs. Fingers crossed that we can get everyone to the table on this. We go to the design studio next weekend to pick out the finishings in our new home. Ugh, they went through the effort of drywalling but didn't insulate at all behind it?  I am sort of stoked for our garage. It's a decent size triple (not massive, about 25x30) but fully insulated/finished, overhead heater and a drive through door in the 3rd bay so I could go right into the back yard if I want. Will be handy for the landscaping I'm sure.

Maksimus54 posted:Maybe try blow in insulation? No need to rip all the walls off I might do slow-rise foam fill but we'll see. It depends on if I can get them to either not put up the drywall or at least not tape. The real problem is that I'd still need to put a vapor barrier up, so I'm probably going to have to pull out the drywall anyway. Oh well... Might as well get some 110v and 220v lines, ethernet, and speaker wire in there while I'm at it. Come to think of it, I'm probably going to want to modify the garage quite a bit structurally anyway. The garage is incredibly tall inside, which is awesome but leaves me a shitton of unusable space above the garage door. I'm thinking I might run beams across the garage above the door, bolt the door tracks and opener to those and then put in flooring above the door to make that a huge 10'x18x5' storage area. It'll probably be required since apparently the roof trusses won't allow for me to put in flooring and use the attic as storage. slidebite posted:Ugh, they went through the effort of drywalling but didn't insulate at all behind it? They haven't even put the foundation down yet actually. We have to close on our current house before they'll build our new one because we're buying contingent upon the sale of our house. However, in talking with the sales person, they definitely don't insulate or do a vapor barrier. Both of which I want. The vapor barrier is absolutely required by me, because the garage is inset into the footprint of the house so it shares it's walls and ceiling with the rest of the house. It's not like I sit in the garage with the door closed and the car idling constantly, but I do work on motorcycles. So, sometimes I have to work with really nasty chemicals or let a bike idle while I tune the carbs and I really don't want that seeping into the kitchen or a bedroom.

Once the construction starts, go find the general contractor at the site and pay them directly to do this. I've seen this done a fair bit and it's cheaper than including it in the house pricing and they will almost always do it for you. The vapor barrier on the shared interior walls is almost certainly required by code.

Oh if they're building it for you why can't they just do it as a change order and charge you for it? That's pretty standard on any new build that's pre-sold. Pretty rare someone will commission a new house construction and not change/customize anything.

Seems like it'd be an upgrade - AWD, wagon, I have winter tires and wheels that will fit (non-AWD wheels fit on AWD Volvos, yes?), and I'd have heated seats that work. I'd lose the 5-speed though, and the reliability of the non-turbo engine.

I think you're better off repairing what you have. You know what it needs and the other car could be a ticking time bomb. If you're serious about replacing the sedan, sell it first before buying its replacement.

I could've sworn I saw this behavior but I also apparently replaced the thermostat at the same time as the water pump. That water pump is a royal pain in the dick even though there's no good reason for it to be. CornHolio posted:Actually, the heat sink I bought is a Hyper 212... poo poo...

The case itself probably opens from the backside, but the motherboard tray (if this case dates back to LGA775) probably doesn't have a cutout behind the CPU like this:  Liquid Communism posted:It absolutely makes sense.

I have a 480GB SSD and a 750GB HDD in my desktop, and honestly I hardly ever touch the HDD.

Whelp, I apparently jinxed myself when I said something about the only obstacle to the job I was shooting for being someone better qualified. They liked me, but another guy "blew them away." I'm concerned that someone who's better than I am was willing to accept the salary. Perhaps he's thinking the same I was - pay on the lower end, but job satisfaction. Ah, well, on to the next one. Working with a couple recruiters, so something will turn up. Still not fired, as far as I know. Still no instruction on finding a new slot, either. funny Star Wars parody posted:I have been informed that the NHTSA is who regulates this Well, you can bring in stuff that's 25 years or older.
